This was by far the worst place I have ever been in. IT IS NOT A REAL HOSTEL. It is just a man renting dirty bunkbeds out of his house. When we first arived, we arived in a dirty, dimly lit front room. The owner then gave us a pair of really worn out, old sheets to put on our... More

Decent hostel in the armpit that is Jaco. We happened upon this hostel randomly during the day. We only stayed one night in Jaco (we left before the 24 hour mark), but the various travelers in the hostel went to the beach for a bonfire and shared Costa Rican rum and travel stories.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night in August, we didn't like Jaco that much, but Las Camas was a nice enough place and had air conditioning (necessary at the beach, but not included in a lot of hostels).

We had our own private room, which consisted of a bed and a broken chair, but really it was all we needed for the night.... More

Tried to go by the book, but the most recently (October 2008) published Lonely Planet only had budget options, which were either out of town, or out of service.
